#3801 (engine)

Before you get into our engines or our railways, you need to understand how batshit our railway gauges are.

There is a database that catalogues all current preserved engines and it's a good place to start before you narrow down to what you want to specifically research. 3801 is a part of NSWGR. It gives you the basics of every engine we have preserved and you can go form there if you pick a certain engine.

3801: THANK YOU THANK YOU! Your girl has still got it!

4201: I was just along for the ride ☺️

Steam Train Races. Hunter Valley Steamfest Highlights.

And before anyone complains about the diesels being attached to 3801 and the Beyer-Garratt, they're there to power the coaches, they don't actually have tractive power during the race.

3801 visits Sodor for a Rail Tour!

There are a few references to when her brother came to Sodor in the previous season. Her name is Sheila and her brother is Bruce in this series.

It's Sunday! Do you know what that means?

ITS STEAM ENGINE RACE DAY!

Currently, live at the time of posting.

I did want to include an American locomotive in Olivia's little present to Scotsman however there was too much to juggle. There are already so many plotlines and things going on in Pursuit of Self so stuff had to be cut.

Maybe 844 comes over later in the year to surprise Scotsman perhaps? Or when everything is said and done. Grey and 844 terrorise the UK with their ridiculous ways.

Bonus points in they're usually referred to as 'Legends'. (Although in Australia that's more a term of endearment from a friend.)

3801 WINS THE GREAT TRAIN RACE 2023!

4201 also technically wins by tagging along but you fucking go gurl.

3801/Grey: I'm okay! I'm fantastic even! It was nerve-racking but I'm good! I'm solid and sound! Look at me go! Cowan Bank is nothing to me now! *nervous laughter*

Seriously though, thank-you, I'm doing okay. It still gets to me, but I made progress and I'm proud of myself for that.
